- The Pacers' offensive explosion included a franchise-record 27 3-pointers, 59 field goals, 48 assists, a 64% shooting percentage from the field, and nine players scoring in double figures, led by Tyrese Haliburton's 29 points.
- Coach Rick Carlisle emphasized the team's unselfishness, stating, "But there was a spirit of unselfishness which is really what Indiana's about," while Haliburton added, "I had a couple go in early that felt awful leaving my hands," indicating the team's confidence and rhythm.
- The Wizards allowing 162 points marked their worst defensive performance and most lopsided defeat in franchise history, and the Pacers' total was the highest in a non-overtime NBA game since March 16, 2008, as they now prepare to face Oklahoma City.
